El Al, Israel's national airline, is set to discontinue its flights to South Africa by the end of March. The decision comes after a significant decrease in demand, which the airline attributes to the recent accusations by South Africa of genocide against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The Tel Aviv to Johannesburg route, which has been in operation for 74 years, will be scrapped due to the combination of South Africa's charges and the ongoing conflict with Hamas leading to a collapse in passenger numbers. The airline has cited both the current security situation and the fallout from the ICJ case as reasons for the suspension of the service.
